This paper stems from tourism culture's impact on communities, specifically in indigenous areas where culture has inadvertently become part of the tourism industry. Indigenous communities have held their own in terms of preserving and maintaining ethnic ways since time immemorial. But as years move forward, progress and advancement seem to be motivations for such communities to embrace more modern means, politically, economically, and culturally. There is a thin line that divides the maintenance of ethnic tradition with modernity. In terms of identity, distinctiveness, and character; indigeneity and the recognizance of which brings forth so much in terms of how such communities value ethnic tradition. It is what and who they are, and without ethnic ways, these communities will cease to exist. At a more modern consensus, regulations and rules in terms of preserving ethnic ideals have been thought of, bearing in mind that such methods will also provide means for modern transition. In this case, tourism has the potential to be a very effective means of both preserving and promoting cultures. The modern ideals for cultural tourism could be seen as an avenue for environmental protection, forging community bonds, and heritage preservation. But certain key steps and measures have to be taken that are preferably initiated by these communities. Tourism in itself is a culture, but this culture can be reshaped and re-designated to work in congruence with community ideals and principles. Community involvement and education play a major role in changing how tourism affects areas and communities. However, such a change requires a re-identification of community identities and ideals.
